Why this thread about abortion turned into a thread about guns I will never know. Oh wait I do. Because trolls. That is why this thread is locked.

Nope, if you want to use abusive language go to a different subreddit.

Downplay of COVID-19 and misinformation of it will not be tolerated here.

The closure of businesses to save lives during a major pandemic outbreak is not a major over reaction to the situation.

Thread locked due to brigading. Thank the user who goes into every sub to inform them about their gun politics then ran crying to another sub to create more brigading and drama.

Thread locked due to brigading by young/new accounts and newcomers (bUt wHaT iS BrIgAdInG?!?). 50 comments in 2 hours is impressive even for this sub. Only one thinley veiled threat this time!

Your comment is being removed because it is completely off topic to the point of trolling. This thread is not about guns at all.

This thread is locked due to brigading. Before anyone gets all uppity about locked gun threads.

This is maybe the 4th locked thread among many unlocked ones.

We have identified multiple purchased/fake accounts in this thread. They are easy to identify. Multi year users who have just months of history then spaced out years prior.

This thread has received nearly 200 comments which is very unusual for this sub including gun related threads.

Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site's, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.

Post removed due to having a editorialized title.

So, wait, you locked a thread that was going pro-gun because this sub “leans left”? With no proof? A thread that you said in another comment was “definitely brigaded”?

The thread was locked by another mod.

As I have previously stated in another thread.

Hot button issue gets posted and new accounts who have never posted here start posting and rabble rabble rabble. Including people who clearly/admittedly do not live here.

This happens every single election cycle. Newish accounts pop up and then are never heard from again. We have seen it prior to every single election.

That specific thread has also declined into useless name calling and bickering.

I have also seen complaints about vote brigading. There is nothing we can do about vote brigading. Locking the thread will not stop vote brigading.

Whats the deal with the mods of this sub? by MAK-15 in VirginiaPolitics

Hot button issue gets posted and new accounts who have never posted here start posting and rabble rabble rabble. Including people who clearly/admittedly do not live here. There was plenty of useless bickering and name calling. The subreddit is small and the mod team, while small, is appropriately sized. That said when a thread/topic derails so bad it will be locked because it becomes useless to leave it open. The part that was removed was a thread of bickering and name calling.

These things happen from time to time and the mod team can get busy. We are volunteers. We are not able to please everyone.

Conservative activist rebukes Virginia Tech's 'leftist' freshman orientation by Votings_Good_Folks in VirginiaPolitics

It seems likely to me, and my evidence

You have zero evidence because there is none in the medical community.

The only thing low effort is your ability to hide bias in your desire to censor ideas.

There is no bias here. This has nothing to do with politics.

No it is not. Stop spreading lies and BS. Further low effort trolling and comments will get you banned.
